EMMS maintainership

[Jorgen Schaefer-2]

Hello, everyone.
It's probably not a surprise, but still sad for me - I have to ask
for a new maintainer for EMMS.

With the help of many people - that is, you all! - EMMS has very
quickly evolved beyond what I originally thought I'd write, and
way beyond what I wanted to use for myself. It's a funny feeling
to be able to say I haven't used even a small fraction of the
current EMMS modules :-) This results in me just applying whatever
patch comes over, and not understanding any of it. It would
probably be saner if someone who actually uses EMMS fully does
that.

Also, my personal work environment has changed a lot. I do not
play music on the computer that my Emacs runs on anymore. MPD is
not an option, either, because I change the computer I work on a
lot, and just ssh to my Emacs.

So basically, I'm rather detached from EMMS, and I don't see that
changing any time soon.

Would there be any volunteer to keep up the program?

Regards,
        -- Jorgen

Is there anything wrong with how things are working right now? We trade
patches on the mailing list, and occasionally Lukhas packages a tarball
for people who don't want to do the distributed versioning system
shuffle.

It's definitely one of the more "distributed" projects I use, and I like
it more for it.

Well, you still need someone to make point releases.  If no one else has
a strong desire to take over this part, I am willing to do so.  Either
as "maintainer" or "release manager", whichever people are more
comfortable with.

Agreed.  That may also make EMMS look more active and attract more users.

And someone who takes care of new patches (on the mailing list and on
the other developers repositories) and incorporates them.

I give my vote to you! :-)

So I'd say "Welcome Michael, the new EMMS maintainer".

Bye,
Tassilo

Thanks, Michael - you are putting a lot of work into a lot of
projects, I appreciate that. And you seem to have the support of
the others working on EMMS. So (for what that "title" is worth),
I'm more than happy to pass on maintainership of EMMS to you :-)

Thanks again Michael and to everyone else.

Happy hacking! :-)

Regards,
        -- Jorgen

Lots of thanks to Michael.

Jorgen, don't forget to mail him the keys to the Emms corporate jet.

All the Emacs projects under your maintainer-ship are doing steady
releases. I quite like that. Thank you.
